and some of my other hobbies too

Hello world!

This is not my first blog, but it is the first one open to the public. I’ve enjoyed visiting other knitting and sewing blogs and thought some of my sewing projects might be interesting enough to put in a blog. So here I am jumping into the sewing blog community. I usually sew clothes for myself, but my project of the moment is slipcovering our old foldout sofa. I’ve never tried to do anything like this before but it seems to be coming along fine.

I started last year and have been working on it in fits and starts. A month or so ago I decided to finish it once and for all. It’s mostly done, just needs the cushions. I will try to include some of what I did to to get to this point. For now it’s on to the covering the seat cushions.

Thank you for posting the step by step instructions, you make it looks so easy.
I have to look at them again to be motivated. I have the pattern and the fabric, but I am a procastinator.
Looking at the photos and what I could accomplish if I put my mind to it, will be a good motivation tool.
Thank you!

Looks good, but my reclining sofa pillows are attached sooooooooo. And with it being a recliner, it has openings for handle on sides.. oops, I’m back to where I was to begin with. Don’t know where to begine.

Thank you a lot for the pictures and details regarding these slipcovers.
I wanted to make slipcovers for the car seats but I had no ideea how to make the patterns.
Great ideea with the muselin.
Thanks.

I have scoured the web, and your instructions are the most clear! I will not be using the muslin, but using the old, disassembled slipcover as my pattern for the new one. Your site will remind me how I did this, so many years ago! I am going to keep your instructions up on the computer as I work. Wish me luck.

I too was just looking around, trying to find a guide to make a slipcover. this is perfect. I am a beginner. Like the visual. Hope to have this done by the holidays. yes, I am giving my self plenty of time.
